Fast Jet Pilot Training CEE will be supported by Czech AF, NATO, EDA as well as key regional & international Air Forces

The Czech Air Force’s second annual Fast Jet Pilot Training Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) conference will return to Prague this summer, on the 5th and 6th June 2017.

“Only through learning and networking with our peers can we enhance and improve our ideas and execution of military projects, I urge you to join us in June 2017 alongside many other likeminded leaders to ensure you too can benefit from this unique forum.” Colonel Mika, Chief A7 Branch and Chief of Combat Training, Czech Air Force

The aim of this conference is to encourage improved cooperation and interoperability among the air forces of regional allies to enhance air force power in the region. Supported by NATO and the local air forces, this expert driven conference will also include a selection of presentations from allied nation, from the rest of the world.
